Not passing judgement…..just saying that’s usually what happens in tubing accidents
Though it's always on the driver to make sure there's plenty of room, safe distances, etc. one of the increased "Captain Bonehead" behaviors I've witnessed these last few years is people crossing through/close to tubing/skiing/anchored boats.

I posted a similar sentiment last summer or the one before—that there was an increase of people coming through the area we were using to tube—and was met with mixed responses.

Whenever I see people anchored out, wake surfing/skiing/tubing, etc. I steer clear. That's not so for a LOT of people lately.
